Rs 1.5 lakh salary too little for a family of three in India? XLRI alumni tweet goes viral
Dutta's Controversial Statement
In his post, Dutta wrote, “25 LPA is too little for running a family. 25 LPA = in hand 1.5L per month. Family of 3 would spend 1L on essentials, EMI/rent. 25K for eating out, movies, OTT, day trips. 25K for emergency and medical. Nothing left to invest.” This assertion has led to various reactions from other users on X.
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
Responses to Dutta's claim have varied widely. Some users supported his view, while others strongly disagreed. One individual commented, “Rs 25 LPA with no debt and reasonable spending habits will become rich in a few years.” Another user countered, “So what do you want us to do? Clickbait tweets for attention.”
Critics also pointed out inconsistencies in Dutta's calculations. One comment noted, “You want to spend 25k on Dining out, OTT, and Movies EVERY MONTH, and then you complain that there is nothing left to save!!! Indians are really weird.” Another added, “A family spending 25k a month for 'medical' would never spend 25k a month on miscellaneous expenses like eating out, day trips, etc. Please don't misguide people with ridiculous calculations.”
